Chiron

Not unpleasantly. I like the truly republican equality that prevails; and as to whether one is in light or darkness, that makes no difference at all, Then again there is no hunger or thirst here; one is independent of such things.

Menippus

Take care, Chiron! You may be caught in the snare of your own reasonings.

Chiron

How should that be?

Menippus

Why, if the monotony of the other world brought on satiety, the monotony here may do the same. You will have to look about for a further change, and I fancy there is no third life procurable.

v.1.p.149
Chiron

Then what is to be done, Menippus?

Menippus

Take things as you find them, I suppose, like a sensible fellow, and make the best of everything.
